State whether the following is true or false.
Water quality affects the reproducibility of a shade from batch to batch.

  • A.True
  • B.False
  • C.True only at large scales
  • D.False only at small scales

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

Hardness, iron, alkalinity and dissolved solids all affect how a dye behaves - the exhaustion, the shade and the fastness - so the same recipe in different water gives a different result. That is why a mill measures its water and treats it to a specification rather than accepting whatever the supply delivers, and why a change of borehole or season can shift shades unaccountably.
